Grounded in behavioural science, each episode is packed with practical ideas you can put into practice straight away.The name People Soup comes from a quote by Abraham Maslow:"A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting."I've always loved that idea.

Sometimes the signs that we're running low on resilience aren't dramatic. We're still turning up. Still getting through the to-do list. Still appearing to cope. But underneath, something feels different. In this Quick Sp
